      I’m going to start to make a sourdough starter tomorrow using this:

      https://bread-magazine.com/sourdough-starter-tutorial/

      Similar to your recipe @Chap

      I haven’t decided on rye or wheat as I have two kilos of each and can score more on Monday, so probably rye.

      @Matty123 I may try that poolish based recipe concurrent to the starter making process.

      Thank you all gentlemen.

        Very good… this should work! Good luck... and enjoy, it's fun

                                  I’m reading and re-reading the recipe from the above link and the King Arthur Flour recipe which are similar, but I have a dumbass question.

                                  I begin the starter in a 500ml mason jar, after three days when I start to feed it I will mix some of the OG starter with fresh flour and water in a clean bowl. Then I get rid of the remaining starter. Before transferring the new mix back to the mason jar, should I clean the mason jar first?

                                    I love kneading. I find it reminiscent of other activities…
